My VERY Early 2012-2013 NCAA Basketball Bracket - Rankings

Okay, it's probably to do this so early, without knowing who still might turn pro or where some other top prospects might land.  But here is my initial take on what I think the next field of 68 would look like (if it was selected today).

Also, please note, there may be a couple of inconsistencies depending on the conference realignments and what may happen before next season.

1 Seeds - Indiana, Louisville, Kentucky, Michigan
2 Seeds - North Carolina, NC State, Kansas, Baylor
3 Seeds - Syracuse, Florida, Memphis, Duke
4 Seeds - Arizona, Michigan State, Ohio State, Creighton
5 Seeds - St. Louis, Gonzaga, Notre Dame, San Diego State
6 Seeds - Texas, Virginia Commonwealth, UNLV, Wisconsin
7 Seeds - Tennessee, Kansas State, Maryland, Butler
8 Seeds - Missouri, Minnesota, UCLA, Marquette
9 Seeds - Villanova, New Mexico, Miami FL, St. Mary's
10 Seeds - Wichita State, Florida State, BYU, Vanderbilt
11 Seeds - Harvard, Stanford, Purdue, Cincinnati
12 Seeds - Alabama, Iowa State, Temple/Washington, California
13 Seeds - Murray State, Davidson, Ohio, Xavier/Oregon
14 Seeds - Iona, Lehigh, Long Beach State, South Dakota State
15 Seeds - Long Island, Belmont, Weber State, Utah State
16 Seeds - Miss Valley State/Presbyterian, Savannah State/Vermont, Lamar, Denver
